    Up to the first 20 minutes #The color of this film, matched with this costume design, is absolutely amazing. In addition, the composition is often at a 45-degree angle to the building, which is obviously derived from the viewpoint habit of painting, but it always feels strange when it is moved. If you want to be more extreme, there are many close-up shots that can be discarded, because their sense of distance is not appropriate. Sadly, I have no interest in the...

    Japan's first Palme d'Or, a colorful costume movie directed by a former Kabuki actor, every shot has a very delicate design. The composer is the third son of Akutagawa...

    The traditional cultural setting is good, the protagonist's music is well coordinated, and the theme desire is good. The male protagonist is worth pondering. He is not only a loyal and direct good person, but also a slave of desire. He is kind, makes mistakes, thinks hard, and realizes, and it is natural to become a monk in the...

    The 53-year film is so high-definition and so bright! The plot is also very good, very traditional, the clothes are beautiful, and the destructive power of lust is depicted. The male protagonist was originally quite positive, but since he fell in love with the female protagonist, he became lost and began to resort to all means. However, the male protagonist has short legs and thick arms, so he is not as good as the female protagonist's original husband,...

    The camera only performs horizontal movements of pan and traverse. Most of the scenes are framed as small panoramas, and the large and small scenes with the same camera position are selected to switch, which really fits the picture scroll under the opening pad. In order to achieve the symmetry of the replacement of the beginning and the end, the sense of paving in the play is sacrificed. The setting of the two male characters just reversed the traditional character setting. Used a lot of purple...

    Samsung and a half, the biggest problem is that because of the narrow perspective, the grand historical pattern at the beginning becomes unbalanced as the characters advance. This film is good at color, and the director pays attention to creating artistic conception (empty shots), so the sense of form in almost every scene is very well done and...

    Kinikasa Sadanosuke "Gate of Hell" 4/5 1956 This work that won the Palme d'Or at the 7th Cannes Film Festival, the story is a bit cliché or even a bit unreasonable at the moment. There is a saying: A twisted melon is not sweet, but As the first color film after Japan's defeat in the war, this work has a very strong patriarchal and even militaristic color, and the man's possessiveness is very naked and vividly displayed under the director's arrangement. The color composition cannot be avoided...

    That year, the Japanese masterpiece that swept the world, killed the Quartet at various awards ceremonies. But now it seems that the fable-style stories are not very attractive, and the excellent art fingers, costumes, and pictures have gradually lost their once...

    Moritada: I know what I'm doing. What good will it do for you to serve Kyomori?

    Moritoo Endô: I don't know. Once you serve him though, he's your master forever. How can you betray him in his absence?

    Moritoo Endô: Why can't you? I, Moritoo, will slay Wataru. I won't stop with Wataru. If needed, your aunt too. I might have to kill you too!

    Kesa: [the camera moves in for an intense close-up of Kesa] Are you ready to do all that? Do you want me that much?

    Moritoo Endô: I want you. I can't live without you. What do you say? Can't you grant my wish? Eh? Why don't you answer? Do you want Wataru, yourself, and your aunt all dead? Kesa! It all depends on your answer now.
